He has a license to kill as 007, but even the man who plays James Bond had to take driving
lessons to get his New York state motorist’s license, the
New York Post reported.

A month before
Skyfall was released in theaters, actor
Daniel Craig completed driving school — including a course on “responsible safe
driving” — to get his license.

“No one is exempt, regardless of who you are,” said
Richard Fernandez, an office manager at the Professional Driving School of the
Americas in Manhattan.

According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, foreigners (Craig is British) must
pass a written test, complete a safety course and pass a road test to qualify for a license. After
the written test, Craig went to the school to take the five-hour classroom lessons.

“His assistant requested a special class for Daniel by himself. No other students were there,”
Fernandez said. “He was such a nice dude — so friendly.”
